Mini Sausage, Spinach and Swiss Cheese Frittatas Recipe

This mini sausage, spinach and swiss cheese frittatas recipe is part of a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Alpine Lace®.

These past few weeks have been insanely busy with us moving, even though it’s in the same city. I don’t think it’s possible for moves to be simple and easy no matter how close or far away you’re moving. We’ve finally gotten everything moved, though, which has been a huge relief. It’s so nice to be able to enjoy our new home, but we have been having a ton of takeout and fast food the past several days because neither of us have felt like cooking and most of our stuff is still in boxes. Did I mention that I was super smart and managed to hurt my back when packing to make things even more fun? Sigh.

As you guys know, I love to cook, so I have been craving “real food” like crazy. Luckily, I’ve finally been feeling a bit better and able to stand on my feet for more than a couple minutes at a time, so it was time to get to cooking again. It just so happens that Alpine Lace® had recently asked me to give their reduced fat swiss cheese, one of my favorite cheese varieties, a try, so I immediately began brainstorming what dish I wanted to make. I first thought of grilled cheese or a club sandwich, which are both one of my favorite ways to enjoy cheese. But, I wanted something a bit more hearty and protein packed that I could make a bunch of to last us throughout the day as a meal or snack. So, I settled on something Mr. Savvy has been craving for a while now, frittata.

Mr. Savvy usually makes frittata, but he has been such a trooper the last couple of weeks while my back has been out and hurting that I wanted to surprise him. I decided to make a 3 s’s frittata, so I whipped up a simple mini sausage, spinach, and swiss cheese frittatas recipe in my head. Normally you bake frittata in a huge skillet, but it can take a long time to bake and it can be kind of awkward to store and reheat, so I love the mini frittatas. They’re easy to make (and eat!), and can last a few days in the fridge as a low carb protein-filled meal for any time of day or snack. Plus, they easily reheat in the microwave, though I think they’re also good cold.

I love the extra flavor punch that the Alpine Lace® reduced fat swiss cheese adds, plus who can resist lightly browned and bubbly cheese, right? It pairs so nicely with the hearty breakfast sausage, and the spinach adds a nice bit of color and extra nutrients, of course. I love how great ingredients like this help give me fuel I need to get through the day, even when I’m not at 100%.

I love Swiss cheese! I just put this brand name on my shopping list so I can try it. This recipe looks delicious. If the cheese melts over the spinach maybe my husband will unknowingly eat spinach. Thanks!
